Looking Back --

Pacific Ag. Rentals was created in January of 2001 by Charlie Walker and a Board of Directors. His two right-hand men, Bart Walker and Louie Ray, started at the same kitchen table that January day.

Bart Walker started selling agriculture products in the early 90's. He has the product knowledge and the experience to answer your questions or concerns when it comes to finding out what you need to get the job done. Louie Ray manages the PAR mechanics and service technicians in our three branch locations.

Charlie had been struggling with cancer since being diagnosed in 2008 and had been unable to come into the office since October 2009. He attended his last Investor Meeting on March 24th 2010 and met the Lord on the evening of March 28th 2010.

There are not enough words to describe the man that he was and what he accomplished. He was a true representation of the “American Dream”. Charlie came from nothing, was brought up by his Grandmother in the Coal Mountains of north east Tennessee. His parents made random appearances to check up on him. Charlie never made it past the third grade. Whatever he had worked for, his uncles would try to steal from him. He met his brother Bill and his sister Mary for the first time when he was 6, Charlie gave Bill his first pair of shoes that day. At 16, he joined the Army and left that poverty stricken area.

After the Army he came to rest in California. Working different jobs at Nulaid Foods, Service Soft and then selling appliances at Sears. That was commission only and Charlie worked the crowd. In 1964 he started up with Farmers Mercantile and started selling International Harvester tractors, and the Salinas Valley turned red with color. Charlie helped design and import the first SAME tractors in the US. He tried to buy Farmers Mercantile from Al Hanson in the late 80’s, but Al was not ready to sell.

Charlie left Farmers Mercantile in 1988 and started the first tractor rental company in California naming it Salinas Equipment Distributors. His brother Bill joined him a little later and the rest was history. They built up the business in the Salinas and Yuma growing areas. Charlie sold that business to RDO in 1998. After a 2 year non-compete started up Pacific Ag. Rentals with his son, Bart, and Louie Ray. At the start of 2001 our fleet consisted of 2 John Deere 6410’s that we purchased and put on a monthly rental contract to a local farmer. Charlie passed the torch in 2010 to his Team and they continue forward with his dream, the American Dream.
